By the southeastern corner of Bhaktapur's Royal Palace stands the stone Siddhi Lakshmi Temple also known as the Lohan Dega, or Stone Temple. The steps up to the temple are flanked by male and female attendants, each leading a rather reluctant child and a rather eager-looking dog. On successive levels the stairs are flanked by horses, rhinos, man-lions and camels.

The 17th-century temple marks the dividing line between the main and secondary parts of Durbar Sq. Behind the temple is another Vatsala Temple, while to one side of it are two rather lost-looking curly-haired stone lions, standing by themselves out in the middle of the square.

Beautiful temple with lots of stone carved animals. It is an ideal place to take shelter when a rainstorm passes, but take in mind that the steps are very slippery afterwards!

Amazing stone animal carvings. This temple is very photogenic that even rookies can get amazing shots of this masterpiece.
